Two arrested on burglary, theft, drug charges
Two arrests have been made in connection with a burglary and theft ring carried out in several Yamhill County locations last May.
A commercial building located in the 100 block of W. Main Street in Yamhill was burglarized and property valued at more than $50,000 was stolen.
Multiple chainsaws, firearms and a fully restored 1958 Chevrolet pickup were taken. The sheriff's office solicited tips to identify suspects, and they were received from as far away as Southern California.
An industrial storage container belonging to Portland & Western Railroad and located near Oregon Vineyard Supply on St. Joseph Road in rural McMinnville was burglarized. Specialty tools were taken.
The stolen pickup was seen by a resident parked at the McBride Cemetery in rural Carlton. It was recovered and returned to its owner.
More specialty tools belonging to McMinnville Water & Light were stolen from trucks belonging to the utility at a power substation on Highway 18 in rural McMinnville.
Investigative work and the sharing of information between patrol deputies and detectives led Crime Response Team Detective Jacob Herr to serve a search warrant on property in the 17000 block of N.E. Geelan Road in rural Yamhill.
Stolen property from the burglaries in addition to heroin and methamphetaine was seized.
Brock Lawrence Keinonen, 32, of Carlton, and Riley Corbin Martin, 27, of Yamhill, were arrested on multiple charges stemming from these cases.
Martin is lodged in jail without bail and Keinonen is being held on $15,000 bail.

The roster is still pretty low, 69 people. I'm glad they kept these two!!

myopinion:Innocent until proven guilty

Hibb: Really? What about the guy that had 17 charges in 3 weeks time. Booked and released. If they would have kept him the first 1-3 charges, 4-17 probably wouldn't have been committed! Mostly robbery charges, and theft charges. Just imagine if it would have been your stuff taken in charges 4-17. You'd be a little perturbed

myopinion: Yes... really! What is so hard to believe about that? Our democracy and even our judicial system dictates that all men are innocent until proven guilty. Do you have a problem with that? It is a cornerstone of American jurisprudence.
And no I am not going to play the "what if" game with you over this. As far as I am concerned I'll quote Dandy Don Meredith: "If "ifs" and "buts" were candy and nuts, wouldn't it be a Merry Christmas?" Get real!

Wow Hibb, I really didn't think people like you existed, but yet here you are. Have a nice day.

myopinion: In cases where a person or persons are charged with a crime (misdemeanor or felony - it need not matter)it is dependent upon the State to prove their guilt. While our justice system is somewhat screwed up with a lack of judges, case backlogs, and unreasonable search and seizure by local law enforcement, there yet remains certain safeguards to insure that one's rights are not compromised.
Just because someone was arrested for an alleged crime does not mean they are actually guilty of it. There is a process to determine one's innocence and to obtain an acquittal, but trying those two miscreants in the Comments Section is not only in poor taste, but lacking in judgment. Let the court figure it out and a jury of their peers determine their fate before we automatically assume this and that. Conjecture has no place in a court room, but obviously here with you, myopinion, it takes precedence over a little thing we call juris prudence.
